A Modern Approach to Southern-Inspired CuisineAside from the classic cocktail, a highball is a train conductor’s signal to depart at full speed. It was how Central Florida’s abundant harvests moved from field to table, an iconic symbol of the region’s agricultural might. Highball & Harvest (H&H) pays homage to this legacy, with menus laden with ingredients from local farms, as well as our own green-growing efforts. We pluck fresh produce from our on-site 7,000- square-foot garden at Whisper Creek Farm. Handcrafted cocktails are infused with seasonal fruits and herbs, and create a culinary adventure that is as inspiring as it is memorable.Valet parking is available and will be validated in the restaurant

    We ate outside at Dragonfly on a chilly evening. The heaters were great and we were very comfortable. The give of is had a selection of sushi and grill items-the omakase, skewers, miso, etc. The crispy Brussels sprouts and the edamame were the best appetizers we had. The salmon skewers and crab fried rice were wonderful. For dessert we had ube flan, matcha torte and assorted mochi-all of which were delicious!

    I had the most incredible experience at Cafe Tu Tu Tango, and a huge part of that was thanks to Jaiden’s exceptional customer service. From the moment I walked in, Jaiden made me feel like a VIP. Their friendly demeanor and genuine enthusiasm set the tone for the entire meal. Jaiden was incredibly attentive, checking in just the right amount to make sure everything was perfect, but never overbearing. They took the time to explain the menu with enthusiasm and offer recommendations based on my tastes, which made choosing my meal a delightful experience. I never had to ask for anything twice, and Jaiden anticipated my needs before I even realized I had them. Beyond just excellent service, Jaiden’s warmth and professionalism created a welcoming atmosphere that truly elevated the entire dining experience. It’s rare to encounter such personalized, thoughtful service, and I can’t wait to return to Cafe Tu Tu Tango just for the privilege of being served by Jaiden again. Truly a standout! Highly recommend!
